My family and I will be going on vacation next week (July 1-8). We are staying in Ybor City. So far we have Busch Gardens, the zoo, the aquarium in Clearwater and the Big Cat refuge on our itinerary, possibly the Dali museum and a canoe trip.

What day would be the best to visit Busch Gardens? What other areas/places are must see? Is Ybor City really as rough as some make it out to be? I of course read nothing but good things until after the reservations were booked But the area looks beautiful, so we will give it a shot.

If you are over by Clearwater a 10 mile drive south on Gulf Blvd you'll come to Johns Pass,at the south end of Madeira Beach very lively place and great beach across the street.http://www.johnspassvillage.net/JPMA/

like baseball? Ray will be playing the Kansas City Royals while you're here and tickets (stubhub) are cheap....park downtown, take the trolley into the stadium for free (parking at metered parking is free after 6 pm). Cheap tix on Stubhub - buy the cheapest and move round to many parts of the stadium and sit where you want......
